{santa} found us!!


Christmas in our house this year was so magical.  The excitement on Christmas Eve was beyond what I could have imagined! Not only for Jackobi, but for us! We had a little "slumber party" upstairs and all camped out on Christmas Eve so we could all wake up together on Christmas morning & go down stairs together.  It was so much fun.

Jackobi was so excited to get downstairs and check things out I think she was still a little groggy when she actually came to her stocking and gifts from Santa.  The first thing she took note of was the little Tiana polly pocket in her pile (the smallest thing there!) We had to actually point out the big play house before she even took note of it!  Once she realized, it was a hit! :)


This year was our first Christmas that we didn't have anything really "scheduled" so we were able to really take our time and enjoy the excitement of Christmas morning.  After playing with the gifts from Santa for awhile, we dove into the wrapped gifts under the tree.

 It didn't take Kashton long to figure out what to do!

 {love} Jackobi :: opening presents with her teeth.
because that's somehow faster, right??

Kashton was so fun, he got pretty into ripping off paper!
